Emma Lunsford - The Everything College Cookbook: 300 Easy and Budget-Friendly Recipes for Beginner Cooks (Everything)

Congratulations! Your college career is here, and now its time to bury your nose in piles of textbooks, tailgates, and takeout. Your food choices may seem like a giant playground filled with fast food and unhealthy meals: pizza in the dining hall, late-night burgers, a quick snack of processed popcorn loaded with salt and butter.

It doesnt have to be. College is a time when you can decide how you want to live the rest of your life. Youre learning new skills in the classroom, and gaining knowledge that will help you thrive out in the real world. Cooking healthy meals is also a learning experience . Instead of loading up on trans fats and high sodium, you can learn to make easy, delicious, and healthy recipes in no time at all, recipes that youll be making long after you graduate. Now is the perfect time to learn to cook, and it will serve you well throughout your life.

In this book, youll find all the tips and tools you need to succeed to create cheap, nutritious meals while in school. Its filled with hundreds of recipes that are a breeze for any beginner to make, ranging from good for the soul foods like hamburgers and chocolate brownies to gluten-free, dairy-free, keto, vegan, Paleo, and vegetarian recipes. Thank you for picking up this book on your way to college health and happiness! Enjoy every bite.

Best,
Emma Lunsford
